Basically, the problem is that Obamacare mandates make it such that all policies must include certain things leaving very little freedom for anyone to
pick and choose what suits them or their needs.

That's why men are paying for women's health services and vice versa and why we have these unending arguments about who should pay for whose birth
control and abortions.

Obamacare needs to go. It's a bad idea to just bundle it all together and make everyone pay for everything whether they need it or want it or not.
Additionally, you run into the moral and religious complications that have kept this whole thing tied up endlessly in court whereas before you had
differing policies and the freedom for companies to put together policies to suit their clients that they don't have now.

And, of course, now that the whole thing may get unwound, you have people displaying the vapors at the prospect that they might have to go back to
paying $10 out of pocket for their pills every month.

Roe did not make it legal. What Roe did was more or less institute a "don't ask don't tell" style policy where abortion was concenred, but even then,
the court recognized that the state has an interest in protecting the unborn along with the woman's life and that these interests get stronger as the
pregnancy progresses.

Most leftists overlook this in their drive to push for abortion anywhere at any time on demand.

It's not looking like it's just going to stop
at abolishing Roe v Wade. The views of some of the people Trump may appoint to certain positions is what troubles me.

Well, we'll just have to see won't we?

Do you think I felt any less uneasy watching Obama make his appointments?

And I think I was justified in that unease in the end, so we'll see where this goes. But I don't think you have much to worry about. The majority of
the country at least sees the necessity for abortions in some cases even if we are sharply divided on the question of abortion as birth control.

WALLACE: Mr. Trump, you're pro-life. But I want to ask you specifically: Do you want the court, including the justices that you will name, to
overturn Roe v. Wade, which includes -- in fact, states -- a woman's right to abortion?

TRUMP: Well, if that would happen, because I am pro-life, and I will be appointing pro-life judges, I would think that that will go back to the
individual states.

WALLACE: But I'm asking you specifically. Would you like to...

TRUMP: If they overturned it, it will go back to the states.

WALLACE: But what I'm asking you, sir, is, do you want to see the court overturn -- you just said you want to see the court protect the Second
Amendment. Do you want to see the court overturn Roe v. Wade?

TRUMP: Well, if we put another two or perhaps three justice on, that's really what's going to be -- that will happen. And that'll happen
automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro-life justices on the court. I will say this: It will go back to the states, and the states will
then make a determination.

Only a statist would want their regional affairs planned by someone outside of the region. Let states define the laws of their own states.

Let's say I get raped and I get pregnant from the raper. I would not want the baby. Would I lose all rights to abortion?

Edit: If they banned abortion from the USA

We have varying scenarios at play here. None of them are good.

So when Roe. V. Wade gets overturned it would go back to the State. So the specifics would depend on the state you're in. You may legally be able to
in the situation of rape. You might not legally be able to. Ketsuko suggests you drive across state lines while traumatized to get one if it's illegal
in your current state....

Windword is saying there could be a further amendment. So it could just straight up be illegal. You'd have to drive to another country.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said that as president he would use Medicaid to cover poor people who can’t afford private health
insurance, and make birth control available without a prescription.

That's not smart. Birth control has side effects and not everyone can or should use every product. And, you can't put in an IUD by yourself.

Throughout the campaign, Donald Trump vowed to defund Planned Parenthood and end Obamacare. Now with his victory — in a campaign marked
by degrading language about women that sharply divided male and female voters — many women are expressing concern about what his administration
might mean for their reproductive rights and health care options. www.cbsnews.com...

This is a topic I never understood. It seems to me, that if you allow liberals to have abortions, then later there will be less of them for Christians
to fight with. By reducing their own population, they ensure the dominant survivors would be more like the Christians. I know, I'm a bit crazy for the
way I think. Just it never made sense to me.

Is that how Liberals and Christians are made??? Liberals have Liberal babies and Christians have Christian Babies???
